Ragged Falls

Just outside the tiny town of Dwight along Hwy 60 in Ontario is Ragged Falls park. There is a very pretty falls that cascades down a chute of dark grey rocks that is quite mesmerizing and well worth visiting if you're driving by. We stopped in here after we hiked Centennial Ridges on Saturday.

The fall colours aren't that spectacular this year, most likely because the weather has been extremely hot. Even the nights aren't as chilly as they normally are this time of year. Lots of trees were already bare, and there was a lot of brown, rather than the vibrant reds, oranges and yellows.

We spent some time walking to the top of the falls and then clambering over the rocks to get right beside the water. It was extremely loud and thrilling to watch all that white water so close. Of course the best way to appreciate the falls is to see a video!

Another beautiful area where you live. Your photos and video are really good. I hope the weather cools off, so you can have those beautiful fall colors soon. Thanks for sharing, Wendy. Hope you're all doing well!

We've been camping in the park for 20 years and only stopped in there looking for a place to put the canoe in maybe 5 years ago. Imagine our surprise to see this pretty spot! That day we were the only ones there.
